25 | Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Yatfai Eric Ng, partnered with a Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse (HFEN) Angela Pruitt from the California Department of Public Health, conducted a Case Management - Other - tele-visit via Zoom, to provide a technical assistance to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the facility. LPA and HFEN met with the Resident Services Director (RSD) Shelley Nguyen.
LPA and HFEN toured the facility virtually with RSD holding the telephone to show around the facility. LPA and HFEN observed staff in the facility wore masks and face shields. Hand sanitizing station was observed. COVID-19 posters were visible throughout the facility. RSD was advised on the following COVID-19 mitigation and infection control practices to prevent, contain, and mitigate the spread of COVID-19:
- Move the covered trash bin from the outside of the isolation room to the inside
- Procure the "step trash bin" to replace the "trash bin with a lid" that the lid needed to be picked up by hand
LPA and HFEN gave suggestions and RSD stated they would be implemented. No deficiency cited during visit.
This report was emailed to the RSD to review and to obtain a signature. |
